It's like the old saying that the power to tax is the power to destroy. Think of this as a tax on gun ownership, and the same arguments apply.

Bob, you have to realize that this old line is nearly always taken out of context. The quote "The power to tax involves the power to destroy" was coined in 1819 by Justice John Marshall, in a case that established that states and localities cannot use taxation as a political weapon against the federal government. It doesn't apply here in the least.
